In a dramatic twist, experienced striker Jordan Hugill has turned down a lucrative $2.5 million move to Stevenage FC, opting instead to re-sign with Rotherham United on a new two-year contract. The decision comes as a major boost for the Millers as they prepare for life in League One.
Stevenage had reportedly tabled a substantial offer to lure the 32-year-old forward, who had been considering his future following Rotherham’s relegation from the Championship. However, after extensive talks with the club’s management, Hugill has chosen loyalty and familiarity over a fresh challenge.
Sources close to the player reveal that Hugill was impressed by the club’s vision under interim leadership and is determined to help guide Rotherham back to the Championship. His decision is seen as a strong statement of commitment and belief in the squad’s potential.
Rotherham United confirmed the news in an official statement, calling Hugill’s re-signing “a pivotal moment” as they rebuild for the 2025–26 campaign. Fans have responded with enthusiasm, praising Hugill’s dedication and experience.
With the striker staying put, Rotherham’s attack looks set to retain a key presence in their bid for promotion.
